How to find waitlist tools TikTok creators
I scroll Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube under a fresh account if I’m looking for waitlist tools creators. I try to put myself in the shoes of the person who would pay for this tool: US English pre-launch founder, 24-36, already bounced off a Carrd plus Google Form and a viral-loop waitlist that attracted other founders, watches ‘my waitlist is 800 other founders’ and ‘the Form responses are a mess’ videos the week before they wanted to ship. Then I linger, save, like, and comment as if I were them. Once the algorithm is trained I take whoever keeps showing up.
I do not open #waitlist and call the spreadsheet research.
They watch founder-heavy waitlists, Google-Form mess, ‘viral loop brought me no users’, pre-launch dread. They already tried Carrd plus a Google Form, a viral-loop waitlist of other founders, and a Twitter ‘reply for access’ that went nowhere. Adjacent is pre-launch dread, founder-heavy lists, not growth-hack loops. Skip the launch-Twitter person whose waitlist course is the product.
Ideally over 50k average. Below that they quote $700 a post for 1k views. That’s a money sink.
What keeps showing up in this feed
The same 800-founders face two pre-launch weeks. The example I want in my head: someone opening 800 waitlist emails and recognizing half as other indie hackers.
Founder-heavy-list rants already have the audience; a plain email-capture that pings you is the boring product that works.
Doing this by hand is kind of soul-crushing. Like a viral-loop tutorial and you will leave the Google-Form people. That is why I automated the scrolling. Scout is $1,500/month for the list.
The long method essay is How we find creators by scrolling a real TikTok avatar. I wrote the first-person version at How I find influencers.
Reject list, written down
Write the reject before you scroll: the launch-Twitter person whose waitlist course is the product. Also skip anyone whose last dozen posts are collab ads and who has never talked about founder-heavy waitlists, Google-Form mess, ‘viral loop brought me no users’, pre-launch dread.
If they only exist under #waitlist, they wanted brands to find them. That is not who is being served to the person who would pay for this tool tonight.
50k floor
I want roughly 50k average views because the economics will not work otherwise. Launch coaches quote course prices. $700 a post for 1k views is a money sink.
If you do this right, ie at scale, you will have many other creators to choose from. One no is not the campaign.
